As FumbleFingers commented, none of I think or In my opinion or From my point of view is as formal as In the opinion of the author. That aside, I think you have them listed in very-slightly-increasing order of formality.More important than any differences in formality are differences in nuance and meaning. I think may be seen as lighter-weight, more off-the-cuff, than In my opinion, while From my point of view may be seen as introducing a personal viewpoint or preference, possibly less objective than for either of the other phrases.If you seek less formal expressions, consider It seems to me, It appears that, Apparently, Evidently, It sure looks like.But of course for formal phrasing, rather than I think plus a conclusion, instead give a supporting argument or reason, followed by the word hence, followed by a conclusion. 'In the opinion of the author'?This isn't formal writing. It's presumptuous writing. If a document needs a level of formality that avoids personal pronouns, then it probably also doesn't permit personal opinions.
Personal pronouns are completely acceptable in formal writing. See any professional journal. Even doctoral dissertations allow personal pronouns.Now, to your question. Each of these is acceptable, and each of these should be avoided.I would avoid 'I think' because it is a weak expression. It allows the reader to disregard your ideas completely. 'In my opinion' is slightly better if you have sufficient credibility in the subject that your opinion matters.All of these expressions tell the reader 'I might be wrong, but here is my idea.'
All of them should be avoided as a form of hedging. See the article 'In my opinion, I think that I believe this is bad writing.' If you have a good reason for your idea, simply state your idea.
If you're not sure about your idea, attribute it to someone else.
I am creating artwork to sell on etsy and I use photoshop for my designs, but I'm a bit lost as to what format I should output the images to. I need them to retain a high quality for printing, but not be too huge in terms of file size. I'm thinking pdf would be best as there isn't as much compression as a jpeg, but I'm unsure of what pdf settings to output to (or if there's a better alternative). These are files that can be downloaded by anyone, anywhere, and will be printed on anything from home printers to professional copy shops, so I need a standard setting - if one exists. Any help appreciated! Save as RGB JPG with a quality setting of 12.This will produce high quality images with only minimal discernible variation due to jpg compression.
You most likely wouldn't even notice any change due to compression.Anyone using the images for print production will know (or should know at least) how to handle the jpg. After all every stock photo site provides JPGs. And home users won't be confused by the JPG format.PDF would work, but the more home-based users may be confused by the PDF and unhappy that it can't just be posted to some social media site, or show up inline in an email, etc.You could provide CMYK JPGs or Tiffs. But really, only those using files for print will prefer them - so you would be limiting the market for those files to a degree. And, as posted, anyone using the files for print should be very familiar with altering an RGB JPG for print production.
I want to stress that Aaron attracted praise like this not for being cute (though he. First, my views will inevitably be affected by the fact I knew and liked Aaron. Such as downloading too many PDFs from one website or utilizing too. If I'm right about what Swartz was trying to do, then I think some kind of.
In addition, file sizes for Tiffs may means that's not a viable option. They will be much larger in terms of kb. In many instances a PDF will be larger in terms of file size as well.Saving as JPG offers the smallest file size while retaining the largest dimensions and the highest compatibility possible.Saving as RGB ensures home-users get more accurate color if they were to print the JPGs. Most home-user printers require color to be sent as RGB. Providing CMYK files will mean those printing on inkjet printers may get drastically inaccurate color. And, again, anyone doing print production will know to convert to CMYK if needed.
